Total solar eclipse occurs after 72 years
The world will witness a total solar eclipse on August 12, 2026, when the Moon completely covers the Sun’s disk, turning daytime into temporary darkness for up to 2 minutes and 18 seconds. This event is expected to be exceptional, especially in Europe and Iceland, where it will be the first total eclipse visible from large areas in many years. It is a rare occurrence not seen in Iceland since 1954, and it will not happen again before 2196. There will also be an opportunity to observe a partial eclipse over large parts of Europe and North Africa, with forecasts of increased astronomical tourism in the region.
